hellpop Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 My dear dear friends... if any property would become a mateified from Disney, it's Pirates of the Caribbean. And with On Stranger Tides due next year... Perhaps the time is, at last, right. Other than that... well many Disney movies would not require extreme sculpting, especially ones based on the princesses. Except maybe Beast or Little Mermaid. And I'd kick Mickey Mouse in the face for a Beast minimate. Ah hell, just do Kingdom Hearts and make pretty much everyone happy. Except Emperor's New Groove fans who do not yet have a world for their own. And I want me a Yzma mate. Are you kidding me?! Getting a Minimate of Llama Kuzco would be hilarious. Bonus points if we get parts to convert him to Emperor Kuzco too! I still stand by my two dream Disney properties for mateification though: Treasure Planet and Atlantis: The Lost Empire. And maybe throw in The Sword in the Stone and The Great Mouse Detective too. I repeat: This guy please!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Oh yeah... I'd love me some Rocketeer action! The only other Disney property I can think of that would be even cooler is Condorman!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniFiend UK Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I think the Pirates line already proposed by AA/DST shows how cool Disney POTC minimates would look and I would snap them up in a second. along with the Rocketeer that is one majorly over looked film most times.

In other words the two movies that work for minimates, but are so forgotten that they won't. Just... no. Not happening. However Aladdin, that crap will be happenin'.

youbastards Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 POTC, Tron, and Rocketeer would be nice and I would buy all of those, but MY ideal Disney property would be The Black Hole! A couple of exclusive boxsets is all you would need: Set 1: - V.I.N.CENT - Dr. Hans Reinhardt - Dr. Alan Durant - Capt. Dan Holland - Robot Drone Set 2: - Dr. Kate McRae - Old B.O.B. - Harry Booth (we need an Ernest Borgnine 'mate!) - Lt. Charlie Pizer - Maximilian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the Rocketeer Kubrick (it's the only one I own), and I do agree it's pretty nice for a kubrick. But still... it's a kubrick. Placeholder, nothing more.

gambitron Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Otherwise the topic would devolve into our version of "are we there yet" (i.e. has anyone found these in store yet) over and over again until someone did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 So I went to the Disney Store yesterday to try and see if these were out yet and was reminded of the biggest hurdle this set (and by proxy "Disney Minimates") faces: DisneyStore has no intention or desire to sell stuff to little boys. I walked in and the whole store is pink and full of pajamas, as an adult male I felt creepy walking through a store now 85% devoted to getting little girls ready to sleep. I can't image a little boy, even one who's the biggest Spider-man fan in the world would want to wander in to find Spider-man's unless he already knew there were "tiny spider-men sold only at this store" in the store, because heck, if you don't know about the Classic Heroic Age set you might as well go to the Victoria Secret's next to the Disney Store because they're just as likely to be selling Marvel Collectables and the pajamas are little less creepy to be surrounded by. So I don't know if it's just my Disney store that sucks and there are ones that sell decent and original Phineas and Ferb/Tron/Cars/Pirates/Marvel merchandise you can't get at TRU (because there was not a single "exclusive" at the store anymore) but if my store is the norm this isn't going to be leading to Disney Mates, it will probably lead to clearance pricing though. On the plus side all this talk of the Disney Store made me wonder if they sold anything cool involving the Beast, long story short: No... but anyway they did have this: http://www.disneystore.com/wedding-dreams-...partial&Dx= I snatched that up as it's something my fiancee and I had wanted but didn't think existed because of Disney's almost refusal to make Beast merchandise (we figured if it did exist it would be Belle and Beast's human form), so at least they made the most important Beast product they could even if a shirt would be nice.

Well, I went in to my Disney store today, and not only did they have a nice display of Marvel items, they had the newest wave of Marvel Universe figures, so I picked up Thanos and the Constrictor (and will hopefully go back for Yellowjacket this week). Not only that, but I asked about the Marvel Heroes box set as I was checking out, and the person that helped me not only knew what I was talking about, but said that they were expecting to have them on Black Friday, if not earlier. Disney, as a company, is definitely aware that they don't have as large a share of the boy market as they do the girls; that's one of the main reasons they purchased Marvel. I suspect the Disney Store will become a big place for Marvel products in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xybot Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Did anyone get these yet? I just found the listing on DisneyStore.com and it's already sold out. http://www.disneystore.com/marvel-univ-min.../1279425/11762/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I've been scowering disneystore.com since these were first mentionned and found nothing. This is the first I've seen of these. I even went as far as to e-mail them and inquire when these would be showing up online. This is what they e-mailed me back with: Dear Eric, Thank you for your email and the chance to help! I am so sorry but the item you requested is not available through DisneyStore.com.

gentry Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I emailed the Disney Store earlier in the week. They stated to keep checking online as information was not available. Their customer service department sounds a little confused. Hopefully they will be back in stock shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I'm guessing this is a placeholder spot for when they get them, TRU does the same thing sometimes. Xybot - How did you find the listing on the website? I couldn't find it by searching for "Marvel" or "Minimates", which leads me to believe these aren't "officially" in the store yet...

gambitron Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 My local Disney store said they wouldn't be getting Marvel stuff in till next spring (I don't think they knew what they were talking about) but I just hope the website gets these cause my wife wants to order some stuff so I can just add these to her wish list and not feel like I am paying shipping for only one thing.
